Young Master Xing laughed and slapped his thigh: "Starlight, you really are quite a character, aren't you? When will you show me this shameless trickery of yours?"

The Starlight Master laughed apologetically: "I dare not, I dare not... In front of someone as significant as Young Master Xing, I can only show respect."

Young Master Xing shook his head with a smile but then suddenly stopped smiling: "Something's not right here. When Yin Shen Palace assigned you this task, it wasn't with good intentions. So why did they later help you bluff your way?"

The Starlight Master's smile was filled with helplessness: "Young Master Xing... Patience, at that time, the headquarters had already issued the evaluation task for the sub branch... This was a major issue concerning the Yixin Sect's promotion."

Young Master Xing suddenly felt a little awkward, realizing that people from the headquarters family were already here, meaning the task had long since started. He thought, I really am a bit of an idiot.

He then laughed heartily and said, "You keep calling me a significant figure, but do you know who I am?"

The Starlight Master was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Do you know what my background is?" Young Master Xing asked with a sly smile.

"...This... I don't know."

The Starlight Master looked incredibly embarrassed.

"So why do you call me a significant figure? Just because a few people called me Young Master Xing earlier?"

Young Master Xing asked with a smile.

"Not completely."

After pondering for a while, the Starlight Master said, "Because of your demeanor."

"Demeanor?"

Young Master Xing frowned.

"Yes."

The Starlight Master smiled and said, "Young Master Xing's demeanor, among all the people I've ever met, is unparalleled. Lofty and unapproachable, calm and graceful, with heaven and earth in your grasp, the wind and clouds at your beck and call."

"Unparalleled..."

Young Master Xing smiled and said, "Including Yan Beihan?"

The Starlight Master laughed and said, "I've yet to meet Mr. Yan, so I can't assess."

Young Master Xing laughed heartily and said, "You haven't met him... Hmm... So have you seen Chen Yin? Have you met Ye Yun?"

In the midst of laughter, Young Master Xing suddenly flicked his hand, and a flash of cold light shot through.

The Starlight Master felt a sudden chill in his chest, without even having time to react.

Then a wave of intense pain surged from his chest.

Looking down, he saw a sword had penetrated through his right chest.

Entered from the front, exited from the back!

He could even feel the sword tip shining with a bloody light behind him.

In the midst of the previously harmonious conversation, Young Master Xing had, without any warning, already made his move.

The Starlight Master held onto the desk, supporting his body, watching the blood flow out, and then looked up at Young Master Xing, with infinite confusion in his eyes, murmuring: "Wha... what's going on?"

Young Master Xing's eyes were fixed intently on his eyes.

Seeing that his eyes were only filled with confusion, not even hatred or despair.

Young Master Xing held the sword hilt, his eyes focused on the spot where the sword had pierced, and said blandly, "You don't hate me?"

As if he hadn't even sensed the sword inside his body, the Starlight Master displayed the same faint smile: "Why hate?"

"Right now, I've killed you. You don't hate me?" Young Master Xing asked.

"What's there to hate?"

The Starlight Master smiled peacefully and said, "Considering Young Master Xing's status, skills, cultivation, and abilities, you want to kill me. How could I possibly get revenge? How could I escape?"

Young Master Xing smiled and said, "Is there anything you cling to in this Mortal World?"

"Yes. There are attachments."

The Starlight Master laughed heartily: "Many, many."

"Hahaha..."

Young Master Xing laughed heartily. When he laughed joyously, his hand holding the sword hilt suddenly twisted with force.

The bright sword body twisted inside the Starlight Master's chest, inflicting more damage instantly, and a surge of extreme pain made the Starlight Master's body tremble.

Streams of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

But he remained seated, unmoving.

"Does it hurt?" Young Master Xing asked with a hint of pity.

"It hurts."

"Want a quick release? Beg me." Young Master Xing's eyes flickered with a mysterious expression.

"I won't beg."

The Starlight Master's blood kept pouring out, and he smiled: "To end it quickly... means no chance anymore."

"What chance?" Young Master Xing asked.

"A chance to stay alive." The Starlight Master frowned, struggling to endure the pain.

"You still want to live?" Young Master Xing laughed heartily.

"I do. At least, I want another look... at this world."

The Starlight Master frowned tightly, his eyes flashing with pain, but his face showed a hint of a comfortable smile.

The smile grew even wider.

He thought of Zuo Guanglie and the others.

Old Zuo and the others, they shouldn't have suffered as much back then, right?

He smiled happily.

Extreme physical pain seemed to slowly soothe the wounds in his heart.

The comfortable smile piqued Young Master Xing's curiosity. He tilted his head, looking at the Starlight Master with confusion: "About to die, and you're this happy?"

"Happy!"

"Really happy?"

"Really happy."

"Why?"

"Because... of the pain."

The Starlight Master laughed aloud, blood oozing from his mouth due to his internal organs being shattered, he looked intently at Young Master Xing and said, "Still... not painful enough. Do more!"

Young Master Xing frowned, looking at him with a sense of oddity in his eyes: "Not painful enough?"

"Not enough!"

The Starlight Master grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth, red and white intermingled, extremely grim, and chuckled lowly: "This bit of pain... is still lacking."

"Then as you wish. I, for one, enjoy tormenting people the most."

Young Master Xing smiled cruelly, twisting his wrist and slowly rotating the sword's bright blade in the Starlight Master's flesh, cutting painfully as the sound of bones being sliced squeaked. Frowning, he asked: "How's this? Is it enough?"

The Starlight Master chuckled, his eyes fixed on Young Master Xing, saying: "Not enough!"

"How about this?" The sword rotated again within the flesh, Young Master Xing's spiritual energy urged forth, emitting countless needle-like Sword Qi, rampaging through the Starlight Master's internal organs.

"...Exhilarating!"

The Starlight Master sighed contentedly: "It's refreshing!"

Old Zuo, brothers, do you see this? The person who killed you is now being tortured like this!

Are you satisfied?

Does it ease your anger?

"Hahahaha..."

The Starlight Master laughed wildly, feeling his chest endure hellish agony akin to being dismembered by a thousand knives, yet he was overwhelmingly happy, with a sense of liberating excitement, as if mad and possessed: "Come on, more! Don't hold back!"
